Why a SHE Code
for buildings, premises etc?
• STFC premises: offices, laboratories, workshops etc
contain a range of SHE hazards inherent to the building
and its modification: fire, asbestos, Legionella, or
services: gas, electric, water.
• The STFC is responsible for providing a “safe place of
work including access and egress”, Health and Safety at
Work etc. Act, 1974, and meeting related regulations
Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations,
2002.
• Incidents and near misses arise routinely from poor
building control and/or modification. These include:
poorly erected shelving collapsing; fire doors blocked;
electrical incidents; inadequate site plans; out dated fire
risk assessments etc.

Key features
• Maintaining the fabric of buildings from a SHE standpoint is
the responsibility of Estates Management teams at STFC
sites
• Building work is defined and encompasses activities ranging
from installing shelving and changing room use through to
demolition and construction of new buildings or maintenance
or installing new services to existing buildings
• Building work can only be managed by authorised ‘Building
Work Co-ordinators’ competent to manage such activities
and approved by site estates groups
• All building work on STFC sites affecting site drawings must
notified to relevant estates groups
• All building work that can impact fire safety and building/area
Fire Risk Assessments notified to relevant SHE Group
• Construction projects worth more than £300,000 are required
to have a Site Waste Management Plan.
